Fox News anchor Dana Perino just posted a Dog beach video that feels like the cutest pre-beach countdown ever. Her pup Percy stands by the couch, tail going a mile a minute, while his dad is clearly mid-nap. The timing makes it even funnier because the caption reads, “When it’s 4:59 pm and beach time starts at 5….”
Dog gives gentle reminder when it’s time to hit the beach
Dana shared the reel on Instagram about a day ago, and it quickly pulled in 33.1K likes and 1.2K comments. The short video shows Percy hovering over Peter McMahon as he sleeps on a blue couch. Percy, who looks like a Vizsla-type pup, keeps checking Peter’s face like he’s waiting for permission to move. The caption sets the joke in motion by teasing that beach time starts at 5 p.m., and Percy is already locked in.
Percy’s whole body language screams excited and impatient, even though he stays gentle. He plants his paws on the couch, watches Peter closely, and wags so hard the tail becomes a blur. Some dogs get vocal when they want attention, but Percy uses the softer approach. He leans in, tests the moment, and waits for a reaction like a polite little alarm clock.
The best part is how the “reminder” escalates. Percy inches closer, puts his snout right by Peter’s face, and gives a tiny nudge. Peter finally wakes up smiling, then immediately wraps an arm around Percy like this is a daily routine. It turns the whole reel into a sweet moment, even with the comedic timing.
Reactions were warm and delighted. One commenter wrote, “Percy is the happiest cute guy! I think most husbands look like this asleep sitting up, except mine often has his mouth open.” Another said, “Peter fell asleep watching the Bills!!?? ?” A third added, “That is so adorable, love Peter trying to play possum.” Others joked, “I could listen to that tail against velour all day,” and, “Daddy I want to go to the Beach (multiple heart emoji) Percy loves his Daddy.”
